Politico reports:
Pete Marocco, a former Trump administration official who was reportedly caught on camera inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is now working with President-elect Donald Trump’s transition on national security personnel matters, according to three people familiar with the situation.
Marocco, who drew internal fire when he worked in numerous agencies in the Trump administration and more recently was a conservative activist in Dallas, has been seen at the transition’s Florida headquarters working on hiring, including for the State Department.
Asked about the allegation by D Magazine, Marocco didn’t address whether he had been at the Capitol, instead calling it “petty smear tactics and desperate personal attacks.”
Read the full article. Trump spox Karoline Leavitt says that any questions about Marocco are just part of “the same January 6 playbook of smears and faux outrage.”
